Israel Fernández
Israel Fernández nace en el seno de una familia gitana asentada en Corral de Almaguer (Toledo), pero de orígenes andaluces. Es allí, en su entorno familiar, donde empieza vivir el flamenco de una manera natural. Su madre y su abuela son las que prenden la llama de su interés profundo hacia el flamenco. Pronto se convierte un niño prodigio y empieza a frecuentar concursos televisivos, hasta que con 18 años graba su primer disco. A partir de entonces, es cuando Israel saca su verdadero “yo”, dejando a un lado las influencias externas de ser un niño.

Israel Fernández was born into a gypsy family settled in Corral de Almaguer (Toledo), from the Andalusian origins. It is there, in his family environment, where he started the flamenco experience naturally. His mother and grandmother are the ones who ignited the flame and deep interest in flamenco. He soon became a child prodigy and began to attend television competitions, until he recorded his first album at the age of 18. From then on, is when Israel brings out its true “self”, putting aside the external influences of being a child.
